Another Ford fan gives in........to a Ram!

Our next door neighbor was always so proud of his early '08 Super duty 350. I have heard it all from him, "My Ford is faster, taller, better built," etc..(I never saw him pull anything heavy with it.) He referred to my Ram as a "nice truck for a woman".
Well, seems things weren't so rosy with his Ford after all. Shortly after getting a big toyhauler trailer, he showed up yesterday in a 2009 Quadcab dually!!! Now he is coming clean on all the issues he was having with his 6.4. (Didn't pull well, bad sensors, tranny ran hot, etc.)

They aren't slow if you put a little money in them. Those Spartan tuned 6.4's are real quick.

My father in law let me drive his new Ford, was not impressed. My Dodge would walk all over that thing and get better mileage doing it. They are happy with it though, you can make a phone call with it by talking to it.

You need to tell him he'd better put the dealership as #1 on the speed dial. Sorry, I couldn't resist.

24/7 Towing Company should be #2.

Until it pulls a "2001: A Space Odyssey" on you and answers back:


I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that.
